Providing training equipment for junior cricketers, running memory courses for older people and supporting a couple in their plan to build an adult care centre on a farm are just a few examples of how our Community Development Fund has supported local projects in the last 12 months.
The Fund awards grants of up to £500 to assist community-based projects in areas where Broadacres provides homes.
Among the 28 projects that received funding are:
- JPC Community Farm
- Herriot Hospice Homecare
- Brompton Recreation Group
- Dementia Forward
- Hollyrood House
- Memories Matter
- Richmondshire Cricket Club
- Colburn Hub and Cafe
Gill Davies, Broadacres’ Community Involvement Officer, said: “All the applications we receive are discussed and awarded by a panel of our own residents and we are pleased to have been able to support so many local organisations and charities in 2018/19
“Whether it’s supporting local sports teams, charities or community-based services, the grants allocated were very varied, and from the feedback we received, we know it makes such a difference.
“All we ask is that the projects promote or deliver activities which directly benefit our local communities.”
Broadacres is now accepting applications for the 2019/20 funding year.
